Think and Grow Rich

Chapter 1 Author Preface (1)
Each chapter of this book mentions the wealth secrets that have created more than 500 super rich people, whom I have carefully studied for many years.

Andrew Carnegie got me interested in this secret more than 20 years ago.This shrewd and sweet old Scot inadvertently poured this secret into my head when I was a boy.At that time, he leaned on the seat, blinked happily, and observed me carefully to see if I could understand the real meaning of his words.When he found out that I really understood its true intention, he asked me if I would devote 20 years or even longer to this work, so that ordinary people who still don't have the means to get rich will be on the road to success.I replied that I would, and with the support of Mr. Andrew Carnegie I have kept my promise.

After the practical application of thousands of people, the secrets in this book have been fully confirmed and are suitable for people from all walks of life.Mr. Carnegie believes that this magical formula that has brought him great wealth should also be applied to those who have no time and energy to study how to get rich. He also hopes that I can test and confirm it by understanding people's different experiences. reliability of this formula.He firmly believed that this formula should be taught as part of the curriculum in all public schools or colleges, and said that if taught properly, the entire education system would be transformed, and the time spent in school could be cut by more than half.

The experience of Mr. Charles M. Schwab and other young men of his kind led Mr. Carnegie to believe that what was learned in school was useless for making a living or building wealth later on.As he had done business with many young men, many of whom had little education, he had trained them to use this formula and discovered that they had amazing leadership qualities.Therefore, Mr. Carnegie came to this conclusion.Not only that, but his training made everyone rich.

In the chapter of "Belief", you will see a jaw-dropping story - the establishment and operation of the huge U.S. Steel Group was actually completed by a young man, and he is the one who practiced the secrets taught by Mr. Carnegie one of them.Anyone who is ready to be coached can benefit from the secrets.The young Mr. Charles M. Schwab gained great wealth and business opportunities simply by applying this secret.At a rough estimate, the special application of this recipe could be worth more than $6 million.

Almost everyone who knows Mr. Carnegie understands this fact, which can let you understand what this book means, what it can bring you, and what you really want.This secret was taught to more than 20 people before it was tried and tested for more than 10 years, and these men and women reaped countless personal benefits, as Mr. Carnegie predicted.Some people made a fortune, and some people succeeded in achieving family harmony.One pastor has successfully used this recipe to earn as much as $7.5 a year.Mr. Arthur Nash, a tailor in Cincinnati, once used his entire family as an "experiment" to test this secret. His business not only came back to life, but also created a large fortune.Although Mr. Nash is dead, his business is still thriving.This experiment is so extraordinary that newspapers, magazines and other media have given it high praise, which is equivalent to a free advertisement worth more than one million dollars.

Stuart Austin Weir of Dallas, Texas, has got the recipe.He agreed with this very much, so he gave up his original major and changed to law.Did he succeed too?There will be a detailed introduction in the book.I also passed on this secret to Jennings Randolph, who has been using it from the day he graduated to the White House and is now serving three terms in Congress.

I used to be an advertising manager at LaSalle Correspondence University, when it was a little-known school.I had the honor to witness Mr. Chaplin, the principal, effectively use this secret to make LaSalle University rank among the famous correspondence universities in the United States.The secret to success I am referring to has been mentioned hundreds of times in this book, but it has not yet been said directly, because only when it is presented to you, those who have been preparing for it for a long time and have been preparing for it. Those who are looking will bow their heads and find it.Because of this, Mr. Carnegie passed on this secret to me quietly, but did not name it.

If you're ready to absorb it, you'll find it in every chapter.If you'd love to know the secret right now, I'd be happy to share it, but that would take away the fun of exploring it on your own terms.

At the time of writing this book, my son was finishing his final year of university studies. He happened to come across the manuscript of Chapter 2, began to read it carefully, and discovered the secret that applied to him.Using the tips in this chapter effectively, he landed an important position with a salary well above the average.His story will be detailed in the text.When you start reading that part, maybe all the previous feelings will disappear, because the beginning of the book is so dazzling.

If you have ever been discouraged, if you have had insurmountable ideological barriers, if you have tried hard and failed, if you have endured the torture and trouble of illness, my son's story of exploring himself and Carnegie The understanding and application of the secret of success will let you see the oasis of hope you are looking for.

This secret was also used by Woodrow Wilson in the First World War. Every soldier who was about to go to the front line received the secret instruction he had hidden in his training.President Wilson told me that the secret also played a huge role in raising money for the war.About 20 years ago, Manuel L. Quezon, then the special envoy of the President of the Philippine Islands, was inspired by this secret, won freedom for the people of his homeland, and later became the first president and leader of the people of the country.

There is a peculiarity to this recipe--those who have gotten it and used it once will find that it takes little effort to succeed quickly and never fail again!If you are deeply doubtful, do some research on whoever has used this recipe. Wherever it is mentioned, these people can use their experience to verify this truth, and you will surely be able to convince yourself!Of course, there will never be something for nothing in this world!It's impossible to get the tip I'm talking about without paying a certain price, but this one definitely gives you more bang for your buck.Those who have no intention of seeking it will not be able to obtain it, no matter how much they pay.You cannot get it through gifts or gifts, and you cannot buy it with money, because it comes from two sources.Part of it already exists in those who seek it.The secret works equally well for all who are ready to receive it; education has no effect on it.Thomas A. Edison was using this recipe long before I was born.Although he had only three months of schooling, after skillfully applying the secret, he became an inventor second to none.Edison's partner Edwin C. Barnes also got this secret. Although his annual income was only 1.2 US dollars at that time, after successfully using this secret, he quickly created a lot of wealth and made a fortune at a young age. He retired.You will learn his story in this book.You will learn that wealth is not out of reach and that you can still be who you want to be if you want to, and money, fame, status, and happiness will embrace you if you want to, if you put your mind to it.
